Hello experts,
I just installed fresh ESXi 5.5u3 and connect to the Hitachi Storage HUS110.
I already configured all parts as needed on HUS110 to connect SAN switch and HBA on server also. I think this is fine.
But after that ESXi still can not detect LUN (2Tb) of HUS110 to Add Storage implement.(Add Storage is blank)
Do i need to install more add-on HUS110 on ESXi. If yes, which is the add-on to do?
From the output, it shows that ESX HBA is able to login to the storage. So looks to be good from ESX side and zoning. Can you please confirm the following
1. On the storage side, is the lun masking done properly. Are the LUNS mapped to the same esx host ( cross verify the wwns)
2. Is it possible to create a lun of small size, say 5GB and check if the lun is visible on esx side. 2TB is a limit value and there could be some issue with storage or driver
3.Can you post the output of ' esxcli storage core claimrule list'
Do you see the HBA and the LUN in the Storage Adapters section?

Hello a.p.
On Hitachi Storage i can see the HBA.
So exactly, the ESXi can Add Storage from EMC CX4-120 but with HUS110 is not successful.
Any help is appreciated,
The "Storage Adapters" section I was asking for is the one in the vSphere Client. Do you see the presented LUNs from the Hitachi system there, or don't you see the Hitachi LUNs at all on the ESXi host?
André
Have you tried rebooting the ESXi host? Hitachi likes a reboot (of ESXi) for whatever reason.
Hello,
I can see the HBA on Starage adapter as attached file.
I also can not see the LUNs from Hitachi from Add Storage and all ESXi also.
I used ESXi.5.5 on HP G9 server with ISO image: VMware-ESXi-5.5.0-Update3-3568722-HPE-550.9.5.0.33-Apr2016.
Do i miss any configuration?
Any help is appreciated,
Best regards,
Hello grasshopper,
Hitachi storage did not reboot, but I already reboot ESXi host but not successful.
Best regards,
Hi,
On the first place check if you are actually able to see the LUN from ESXi storage device tab.
***** vCenter -> ESXi -> Configuration TAB -> Storage -> Select "Devices"TAB on right side pane *****
- Make sure you are able to see the LUN (refer with Identified name or LUN ID). If you are able to see it then try login to ESXi host directly through vSphere client and then try to "add storage" and see if you are able to create datastore.
Thanks,
Chaary

The main is i can not see the LUNs from Hitachi storage to process the next steps.

Hello,
I was not selected the WWNs to add when Create host group on Hitachi storage.
Not it all fine.
Thanks all.
